Sufficiency does not equal comfort. It doesn’t mean we won’t be hungry, tired, bored or lonely if we choose to live in Sufficiency. It doesn’t mean we are exempt from failure, loss, disease or upset. It doesn’t mean we have transcended something, that we are special or unique. What I have discerned on my journeyRead the Rest…

Feathered Pipe Ranch, Montana
Join us for five powerful days to reveal and revel in a movement now afoot to restore, renew and rewire how humanity walks this earth, stewards the land, how we care for one another, and all of life itself.

Completion and Creation
Use this guided process to make a powerful ending of your year to set up 2012. Each December, Seven Stones offers a process to the community to complete the year: using the principals and practices of exquisite sufficiency such as telling the truth about what happened and didn’t happen, successes and let-downs, any associations that are called to be celebrated or mourned, and distinguishing actions to be taken. In addition to annually, this process can be used monthly, weekly and even daily!

Reflecting on Our Way (Part 6.5 of 7)
November 25th, 2009 - 3 Comments
Sufficiency is not right, but it is a right that we can harvest, a truth that exists for us to realize for ourselves. There’s no road down scarcity or road down sufficiency. For most of us the path of sufficiency is checkered with both the assumptions of scarcity and sufficiency at different times or moments. Our goal, my goal, is to lean into sufficiency more of the time.

Cancer journals #3: endurance
November 20th, 2009 - No Comments
I’ve noticed several more fascinating things about entitlement I want to share. 1. It keeps me focused on and addicted to what I don’t have. 2. I observe that I am not so hot at receiving, taking in, drinking up, resting in what I do create for myself. 3. My entitlement is righteous and hungryRead the Rest…
A Sufficient Future (Part 6 of 7)
November 18th, 2009 - 1 Comment
Three recent experiences helped me start to think about A Sufficient Future: One – It occurred to me as I was doing yoga this week and making a transition from one pose to another and then my wanting a block and moving towards the block and coming back to my mat, that not only wasRead the Rest…
Wanting

How do I be all I want to be? Read all I want to read? Clean all I want to clean? Clear all I want to clear? Eat all I want to eat? Own all I want to own? I WANT . . . Are wants a weapon of scarcity? When I want I amRead the Rest…
Cancer journals #2: bargaining for false safety
November 14th, 2009 - 1 Comment
I made a deal with the devil and I did not even know it, not until my husband got cancer. (I know I told you all Id write about currency. That is coming but now I’ve been thrown a curve ball by life and want to share the insights from it.) So here is theRead the Rest…
Sufficient Transitions: Recess from Excess (Part 5 of 7)
November 11th, 2009 - 3 Comments
Sufficiency invites us not to get rid of stuff but to allow our stuff to be part of our flow, the in and out of our lives. The gifting, the exchanging, the transferring, so that our stuff, our relationships, our ideas and our love can be part of the back and forth rhythm of life.
The Truth About Sufficiency
November 9th, 2009 - No Comments
I have just finished the Beacon Press imprint of Gandhi an Autobiography: The story of my experiments with truth (1957). Although I found M.K. Gandhi’s writing style a little irksome I am intrigued by his experiments and I wonder what, if anything, they have to do with sufficiency? What are my truths? What could myRead the Rest…
Excessiveness in the face of Uncertainty
November 4th, 2009 - No Comments
What of this ever-changing-ness that I so want to control? What excessiveness am I bringing to that? Like overeating because I am tired, or talking too much because I am nervous; do I over-think, over-plan, over-practice, over accumulate knowledge, friends, money or things to protect myself from the uncertainty?
